[What if Leonard had stayed in Sunset Bird?]
(If you don't know, in my OL universe, Leonard (MC OL2) lived near Sunset Bird before moving to another state in the middle, or end, of Step 1 of OL1)
- He wouldn't have met Thomas Golden (MC OL3 - If he existed) and he wouldn't have met the characters from OL2 either (noooo Tamarack!!!!).
- He would have overcome his fear of water much earlier (After a certain incident in OL1 he acquired a certain thalassophobia).
- He would be more hyperactive and playful than he is in OL2 (Due to Elizabeth's company).
- He would only meet Baxter in Step 2 or 3 and, unlike OL2, I wouldn't like it very much.
- He would be a more closer friend to Samantha (MC OL1)
- He would start to have a crush on Elizabeth because she was his first closest friend before he moved. (He probably wouldn't be reciprocated...)
- He would have hated even more the way Shiloh acted in Step 3, pretending she didn't know the main characters.
- Your fashion style would be lighter due to the environment, such as shorts, lighter shirts, etc. (Noooo he lost the drip he has in OL2...).
- He wouldn't have gotten the scars he acquired in OL2.
- He wouldn't have dyed his hair black at 15-16.
- Due to Derek's presence, Leonard would have focused more on training than he has in OL2.
- He wouldn't focus so much on his oil paintings, he probably wouldn't become a painter.
- Instead of a skateboard he would have a surfboard.
- He would probably still go through his sad stage in Step 3, but not as strong as he would have been in OL2.
- He doesn't do very well with the Jeremy in step 2.
- He would probably remain living in Sunset Bird in step 4, he would probably date Elizabeth or not at that point.
- His career in Step 4 is still not very well decided by me if he stayed in Sunset Bird, but he certainly wouldn't become a painter like he was in OL2 Step 4.
That's all I've been able to think of so far, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
